Yemen’s castle defense vs Saudi-led economic war

In every wars, the military power goes to army who has been able to surround his adversary from all sides and confined him within a limited geographical area. Then goes to a scenario of economic war as a card for war to pay the decisive blow to the opponent. But Saudi-led war against Yemen since 4 years is otherwise. Saudi-led coalition, which lacked military superiority factor and failed in the military war completely, and couldn’t contain the Yemeni army and the popular committees (Houthi forces). Therefore, the coalition resorted to the comprehensive economic war against Yemeni people as an alternative to their military failure.

This means that Saudi-led coalition lacks the basic factor [military superiority]. Without military superiority, the economic war will never succeed. The opponent who is militarily superior will not be affected by the economic war. These are axioms in conventional and non-conventional wars.

Thus, the Saudi alliance, backed by US support, will fail and collapse. Especially, the coalition proved its military failure on the battlefield in front of Yemeni forces and the popular committees (Houthi forces) over four years. Therefore, the economic war will not achieve any results and will not penetrate the citadel of Yemeni strategic steadfastness, which began erupt into the battlefields like Vietnamese people during their war against America.

The coalition has used systematic economic strangulation as a weapon of war — targeting jobs, infrastructure, the agricultural sector and pumping stations, factories, and the provision of basic services, as well as imposing a land, sea and air embargo impacting the country’s imports — causing the spread of famine throughout the country. But will not achieve any goals makes Yemeni people give up.

The leader of Ansarullah movement, said that Ansarullah would not give in to the invaders’ demands, but has emphasized that it is ready for a peace that would end the war and occupation. He also said that we will mobilize thousands of fighters to the battlefields if the currency continues to deteriorate. We are prepared to face the coalition’s economic war for generations.
